Four ways to awaken seeds
The first thing you need to do is give the future plants a contrast shower. First, hold the seeds under hot water for 4-5 seconds, then put them in cold water.
It is recommended to perform this procedure at least 5 times.
Vodka or 45-degree alcohol will also help to wake up the seeds. All you need to do is leave the future seedlings in the alcohol-containing liquid for at least 30 minutes.
Compost tea will also help you. The solution is easy to prepare: add 10 ml of any kind of jam and 70 grams of compost to 2 liters of melt water. Leave the seeds in this solution for as long as they need.
There is also a special way to wake up tomato seeds. They need to be heated in a gentle mode during the soaking stage.
A heating pad will help you with this. Fill it with 50 ml of hot water, place a jar with soaked seeds on top and wrap it in a towel to maintain the desired temperature.
